Finisar's Flexgrid™ technology provides dynamic control of channel center frequency and bandwidth at 12.5 GHz resolution within a Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS), the key element in a Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexer (ROADM). Once deployed, channel plans are configurable 'on-the-fly' meaning that channel bandwidths can be tuned to most efficiently carry future demand when it arises.

Flexgrid™ is available now on the Finisar Dynamic Wavelength Processor (DWP) product lines and will soon be available on the Edge Wavelength Processor (EWP) WSS products.
